The Story of Transfiguration

The Story of the Transfiguration by Pope Shenouda III offers a profound exploration of the divine event as depicted in the Gospels of Mark and Luke. With theological precision and spiritual insight, the book unpacks Christ’s transfiguration on Mount Tabor and its implications for understanding His divinity, the glory of the Incarnation, and the symbolism behind the appearance of Moses and Elijah. This richly detailed volume also examines how the Transfiguration serves as a prefiguration of humanity’s spiritual transformation through resurrection, with reflections drawn from scripture and patristic teachings.

Pope Shenouda III further expands the concept of Transfiguration beyond its biblical moment, showing its manifestation in spiritual gifts, the lives of saints, and human potential for divine glory. Written in a format accessible to both scholars and devotional readers, the book concludes with meditations on eternal life, holiness, and the anticipation of Christ’s second coming. Readers seeking theological depth and spiritual edification will find this book an essential companion for personal growth and liturgical understanding.
